Plans for the property include a five-story 118-room hotel with an indoor and outdoor pool, full-service spa and salon, a range of food options, including a rooftop Ruthie’s Steak and Seafood, and a show lounge that will play host to live entertainment.
The casino floor will connect to the existing Fonner Park structure, and feature 650 slot machines, with the ability to increase that number by an additional 200 positions, as well as 20 table games, a VIP lounge and a high limit slots area, and a sports bar with a sportsbook.
Already responsible for a trio of gaming and resort destinations in Iowa City, Davenport, and Larchwood, Iowa, Elite Casino Resorts expects the Grand Island, Nebraska property to be completed in 2023.
